Is muslim leadership from the likes of Barrack Hussein Obama what the US so desperately needs?

Question

The country under christian leadership such as Bill Clinton and George Bush has failed miserably so i am thinking a man who was brought up muslim would be better at changing our image and getting us some respect in the muslim world.

Answer 1

Are you saying that Barrack Obama is Muslim?
If so you are wrong he is not.
If that is what you are thinking ---------think again.
To vote for the best leaders for your country two things are a must.
Be informed.
Listen to what everyone says - irregardless of their party and most irregardless of their religion. Religion cannot play any roll in government and if you let it play a roll then you are looking for the same problems that Iran and many countries have when the church runs the government and social aspects of their citizens. No freedom what-so-ever. The church as part of government is bad and it has been proved time and time again.

Answer 2

He claims he is a Christian (United Church of Christ?) now, not a Muslim. But it has been said that he switched religions so he would be more electable, so if this is true, he's just another politician. If he is still a Muslim, at least we can fight terrorism at home instead of the Middle East, if we still have the 2nd Amendment by then.

Answer 3

I agree with you. We do need a better image. But unfortunately, I think his past muslim ties will work against him, just look at the Islamophobia evidenced here in many of the responses to this question. I believe america will vote for Hillary long before Barack.

Answer 4

Regardless of any President's religion, and a percentage of Americans' stupidity, he is under oath to first protect the Constitution of the United States. As long as he - or she - takes this oath, their religion is a personal choice.

What America desperately needs is less government intrusion and lower taxes. Also, an exit strategy for the UN from US shores.

Answer 5

Ha ha. I love the strawman argument! You're probably a staffer for Hillary Clinton. You pretent to support Barack, but the way you do so, you bring out the fact he was raised Muslim. Quite clever, but no one else picked up on it.

Barack has lied about his Muslim heritage. He claims his father was non-religious, but he was. He sent him to Islamic schooling ( a madrasa) in Indonesia.

Muslims who convert to Christianity for real, have strong negative feelings towards Islam. (usually there are people trying to kill them for converting so they have to hide).

Barack is a flash in the pan. Hillary will trounce him.

Answer 6

The US should not chose their leaders based on religious affiliations. We've already seen what that brings.

Maybe we should begin to demand they resolve or work on issues that affect our daily life.

For example, groceries is up 40 to 50 percent based on the item. Everyone is ignoring that fact while I am able to buy less and less and even had to turn off my thermostat because of the cost.

Answer 7

Bill Clinton's presidency was one of the most successful in the history of this country. George W. Bush and his father were working for the Saudi Royal Family. Obama is a good American his religious beliefs are not an issue. Jack Kennedy didn't work for the Pope.

Answer 8

Barack Hussein Obama was trained at an early age in an Indonesian muslim madrasa. His radical islamic brainwashing was accomplished at an early age. He now claims he is christian. Islam has planted him in the US to one day run for the presidency.

Answer 9

It's certainly an interesting thought. We have only ever had caucasian male presidents, belonging to only a few religious groups, that tend to have more or less similar values. How are we supposed to know if the problem is the system, or the ones in the system?

I'll raise you one. Maybe we ought to have a nonreligious president, because they will not be acting in the interest of one religion.

Answer 10

The US needs to bury the hatchet on bigotry and racism everytime a candidate runs.
